Our experts deliver high quality professional training across a wide range of subjects and industries, providing detailed information and guidance relevant to all stages of your value chain. Our courses cover quality and safety improvement, compliance, sustainability, the safety of people, products and systems, risk management, management development and brand protection, falling into three main areas:

Management Systems and Standards Training

SGS Academy training gives you a complete understanding of the essential requirements of management systems and standards. Whether you are a lead auditor or executive, interested in a particular ISO Standard or management system, we deliver courses that suit all audiences from foundation and awareness training, through to accredited Lead Auditor courses that meet Certification Body training criteria requirements. We also provide training on non-accredited management systems processes.

Compliance Training

Expert information and guidance is essential to ensure you and your organisation adhere to the necessary duty-of-care, laws, regulations, standards and policies. Our solutions give you the knowledge you need to feel confident in advising those around you and in evaluating that you are in full compliance with health and safety, sustainability, integrity, environmental guidelines and regulations.

cOURse FORmaT

We all approach training in different ways and have to fit in our professional development around our day-to-day responsibilities. With this in mind, our training solutions are offered in a variety of delivery formats so that you can choose those that are best suited to your individual requirements and the needs of your organisation. Our experts deliver face-to-face training in the form of public courses where you can join your industry peers and through in-house courses designed to meet the specific needs of your organisation. If you prefer the flexibility of online training, we also offer SGS Academy e-learning solutions and virtual learning. Further to this, there is the option of choosing a blended learning approach combining face-to-face and e-learning into a practical and rewarding overall training package.

Public Courses

Joining our face-to-face public courses gives you the opportunity to meet with colleagues from related industries and discuss course topics with others who have identified the same types of issues. As a result, you can share and gain best practice knowledge, not only from our SGS experts, but also from those in similar organisational roles. Throughout all discussions our experienced and knowledgeable tutors help you to evaluate your insights so you are subsequently able to make considered decisions when approaching strategic changes within your business. Public courses are on fixed dates, please refer to our course calendar for more information.

In-house Courses

Running a standard or customised course at your premises allows you to shape the message and style of the presentation to suit the culture of your organisation. It is the most convenient and cost-effective solution if you wish to train a number of staff in the same location, or when confidentiality is an issue. Once we have agreed the dates and location for your training course, our experts work with you to identify and evaluate your learning objectives and to customise the course content to ensure they are met.

E-Learning Courses

If you are looking for a flexible learning solution that you or those in your organisation can fit around your schedule, our e-learning training offers an ideal option. Delivered quickly and effectively through either our Learning Management System or yours, our global e-learning courses are easily accessible. Anyone taking our courses can simply access the content at any time. Our experts and partners have prepared a portfolio of e-learning courses for your immediate use, or can work with you to prepare e-learning

courses tailored to your specific needs. For any courses you or those in your organisation study, progress information can be simply tracked and monitored. Talk to us about how we can integrate your e-learning through our global Learning Management System (LMS).

Virtual Learning

Virtual training courses are taught ‘live’ online by our expert instructors. Our virtual learning programme allows employers to train employees in multiple locations and, in the same way as e-learning, saves travel time and the associated costs.
